Ubuntu Unity Project Faces Uncertain Future (linuxiac.com)

Probably more Ubuntu enthusiasts have noticed that Unity, the official Ubuntu flavor that brings back the once-beloved Unity desktop for the first time since gaining official status, has failed to deliver a 25.10 release. Well, there’s a reason for that, and now its maintainers are publicly asking for help.

In a post published yesterday, one of the Ubuntu Unity team members explained that project lead Rudra Saraswat, who’s been at the center of development since the remix’s early days, no longer has time to maintain the project due to university studies.

Rudra Saraswat, who’s been at the center of development since the remix’s early days, no longer has time to maintain the project due to university studies.

Reminder: The entire effort relied on a 12 year old kid only three years ago, so of course at some point he has actual responsibilities: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/04/rudra_sarsawat_ubuntu_projects/

I really failed at early CV building compared to this kid.
